Medical stereoscopic observation device, medical stereoscopic observation method, and program

Abstract

[Object] To present a three-dimensional image in a more favorable mode, regardless of differences in display conditions.[Solution] A medical stereoscopic observation device including: an acquisition section that acquires input image data; a parallax control section that controls, for each of a plurality of different display regions, a parallax value in accordance with display size of the display region; and an image generation section that generates, for each display region, a parallax image corresponding to each of a plurality of viewpoints for display in the display region, on a basis of the acquired input image data and the parallax value corresponding to the display region.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a medical stereoscopic observation device, a medical stereoscopic observation method, and a program.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recently, due to advancements in surgical techniques and surgical equipment, surgeries for performing various treatments (also called microsurgery) while observing an affected site with an observation device for medical use, such as a surgical microscope or an endoscope, are coming to be conducted frequently. Also, such observation devices for medical use are not limited to devices that enable optical observation of the affected area, and also include devices that display an image of the affected area captured by an imaging section (camera) or the like as an electronic image on a display such as a monitor.[0003]In addition, when displaying, on a display, an image of an affected area captured by an imaging section of an observation device, the image often is displayed as a flat two-dimensional (2D) image. Howeve...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]According to the present disclosure as described above, there is provided a medical stereoscopic observation device, a medical stereoscopic observation method, and a program capable of presenting a three-dimensional image in a more favorable mode, regardless of differences in display conditions.

Problems solved by technology

However, since a sense of perspective is difficult to obtain from a 2D image, and the relative distance between the affected area and a treatment tool may be difficult to grasp, in recent years, technology that displays a captured image of an affected area as a stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) image has also been developed.
